Who is in jail?

Posted by Tom on Wednesday, Jan 14, 2015

This is not something I ask myself often.  But when I do, the Johnson County Sheriff's Department has a ready answer.  The County's website is here: http://www.johnson-county.com/.  On that page, there is a Jail Inmate Roster link on the left side of the page.  If you'd like to see Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek's smiling face before looking at the roster (or if you just want more information on the Sheriff's Department), then select Sheriff from the Department dropdown menu.  There's a Jail Inmate Roster link there too.

Jail Roster

 

After a disclaimer page (presumed innocent until proven guilty), then you have the roster.  There's quite a bit of information there: name, date booked, age, location of the inmate, the charge, bond amount, and a photo.  Right now, Johnson County has 116 inmates.  58 are housed here in Johnson County, 57 are in Muscatine County, and one is in Linn County.

February, 1968: a Memphis garbage strike. Martin Luther King joins the sanitation workers' cause, but their march turns violent. King vows to return to Memphis in April. Historian Sides follows Ray and King as they crisscross the country, one stalking the other, until the drifter catches up with his prey. Against the backdrop of the resulting nationwide riots and the pathos of King's funeral, Sides gives us a cross-cut narrative of the assassin's flight and the 65-day search that led investigators to Canada, Portugal, and England-- a massive manhunt ironically led by Hoover's FBI. Drawing on previously unpublished material, this nonfiction thriller illuminates how history is so often a matter of the petty bringing down the great"--From publisher description.
